Philippine government investigators have filed criminal complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte, including charges of sedition, over her public threat to have the president assassinated in the event of her own death. The complaints of inciting to sedition and grave threats were lodged at the Department of Justice by the National Bureau of Investigation.
Vice President Duterte, a lawyer and daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, responded to the complaints by stating that she anticipated such actions from her political rivals. She has accused them of trying to hinder her potential bid for the presidency when President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s term concludes in 2028.
